Senior IT Engineer at The Linux Foundation, specializing in release engineering, cloud infrastructure automation, and developer tooling. I architect and maintain CI/CD pipelines that power some of the largest open source projects, focusing on scalability, reliability, and intelligent automation.

Currently building AI-powered agentic workflows across DevOps and home automation—from GitHub Copilot agentic CI/CD pipelines to smart home systems with AI health coaching, solar energy monitoring, and Garmin fitness tracking. Experimenting with LLM-assisted development to make infrastructure smarter and more autonomous.

When I'm not optimizing build systems or tinkering with smart home automations, you'll find me on two wheels (🚴 bicycle or 🏍️ motorcycle) or exploring trails on foot 🥾.

• Infrastructure Engineering - Cloud platforms, container orchestration, distributed systems
• Release & Deployment Automation - CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployment strategies
